Why has everything got egg or milk in it

[frankiebuns]

My dd is 9 months and has a egg allergy and milk and I'm struggling to find anything she can have I now make 2 teas o e for her one for brother and its driving me nuts I also have to stop my son feeding my daughter any of his food argh

Eating out is the biggest pain we find, this time of year we always take picnics, much easier than being restricted to the one very plain option. Although DS loves Pizza Hut's spag bol so life is not all bad.

Picnic food we have: plain crisps, olives, hummus, nuts and nut butters, ham, sausages, tomatoes, bread, oatcakes, fruit, dark chocolate, homemade cake (DS is only allergic to raw egg thankfully so cake is easy), haribou, fruit juice.

Yes, yes to jus roll pastry being a life saver, and you can get dairy free chocolate-nut spread (which advertises itself as gluten free, which makes no sense since all nutella is gluten free). Marshmallows are egg free (unless homemade). Low fat McVities Digestives are dairy and egg free I think (normal ones aren't). Puddings are the biggest pain we find.

Dried pasta normally doesn't have egg in, only fresh pasta. What about chilli & rice? Or you could serve with potato wedges as a good finger food?

Tesco do Free From fishfingers which don't have egg or milk in. They probably do other things too, that's just what i have in the freezer at the moment.

I've found it easier to just cook one meal that everyone can eat and it's probably the safest option. It's gluten which DH has to avoid though DD has a friend who eats here quite often and who can't have eggs, dairy or nuts.

Look at the Orgran food range, also Alpro. M&S pitta's and most a lot of Hovis bread is also fine. Fish fingers from waitrose. On the whole we cook from scratch. My DS has dairy, nuts and egg allergies, and has grown out of his soy and wheat ones.

Restaurants - its grilled meat / fish, vegetables, rice or chips. Most are use to allergies now and are very careful. I have found cote, café rouge and giraffe really good.
